Additional features include support for microSD cards, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an AI assistant. The assistant can describe books by title, write stories based on prompts, create to-do lists, and answer a wide range of questions. A Children’s Mode is also available, which lets parents restrict access to certain apps and books and set daily reading time limits.
